Hey guys and gals,
I just popped in to take a look at the church in Reno thread. I just thought I would post and say hello, even though I didn't make it very long before logging in again.
Taking a step back has been great. It has been nice to focus on other things, it makes it easier to not obsess over mormonism to much. My wife has appreciated that I think. Discussions have gotten easier, I think probably because they are more fueled by my emotions and less by what I happened to see on the internet boards that day.
Then Joseph freaking bishop happened. That has really gotten me angry in a way I haven't been before. I have not thought about resigning much, but when that story broke it has really made me want to scream on whatever platform I can find and resign. Dmower supports me in whatever, so maybe someday.
I have been doing alot of reading about the evolution of god through history. Its been fascinating. I have recently been reading "a history of god: the 4000 year old quest of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam." I can't recommend it enough. Good stuff.
Anyway, life is good, and I am glad the lights are still on over here. If anyone lives around Reno or Carson city, let me know. I would love to meet up someday. The friendships I have made here on the board have been meaningful and priceless. The irl phoenix group has been a lifesaver.
Popping in

Yeah, it's great that you're doing well, man. Thanks for pooping in!
Learn to doubt the stories you tell about yourselves and your adversaries.

If you're interested in how the idea of god has changed over time, you should check out Robert Wright's book The Evolution of God. I read it a few months ago and highly recommend it.
